lowing remarkable admissions
Tn main terms Governor McEncry took the position
that the maintenance of tho supremacy Of the white
raco I'm Louisiana Il impossible unless the cOioicn c
zens OF the State arc denied tho enjoyment OF the CIVIL
rights guaranteed to them uy tho Constitution Vi to
United States AMI the Constitution of this state Ne
take II for crantea that so much Will be admitted. NO
inc man can read either the Governors Speech
or the speech OF Estis without coming 10 tha
conclusion They both assumed that position ooluy'
and wo may suppose that they intend to stand by IL
stcadfastly.
Now lot IT be borne in mind that the orators in
oneston have taken good to give these utterances
tho widest possible publicity. What, then, are We 10
,b,n, NJ the desperaiion Of an oiccseeker who has
tbus supplel every enemy and dctraco OF the sonth
IN tho North with such rich store Of campaign maten
all Hitherto when Republican nowspapcrs' UT i'o
publIcan politicians in Congress and on the stump
have vcntnrcd to charge the things yesterday ope'"y
ron r,ssed by he Gorfrnor Of THIS STATE, ana oy p"
Unit,d States Senator from mis- state. Democrats DUN
North and South, have denounced tho accusatloh a
,o,eo and have upbraided those who uttered 1t Tor

the bloody shirt" But now the Governor OF houtherh
state himself tho booly shirt now 'h'''"
States Senator nom Louisiana waves the bloody shrt
whom hereafter we undertake rcfute tho charge Of

rOfrSscd friends
Pro- ably never before In all the history Of the party
did two Democrats like prominence ever bctray all
ooua degree Of mingled stupidity and desperation
rhere ia no disgusting stark naSedness of the Gov
ernors statements lie went Into particulars and told
precisely how the thing done. And that Is not me
worst OF f. The country is given to understand that
what has must be again that we cannot
safely permit tho oOorol citizens Of this State to en-
,oy theIr political rights That argument was DIS
made
candidacy that he could be relied upon to secure
tho supremacy Of tho white by supprcsslng the

else They nay deny that thoy used the words bur

We desire our rca crs remember the word with
which We characterize this boomerang attack. II ~ds

10 all students Of the political situation that tie result

Wr are going into a doubt fn fight, and the doubt and

,oI senator Eusiis have male upon Gene al Nichols.
H,t with them It Is anything to beat Nichols. Give
